The faith of a child…open and receptive to God!

I tell you God surely knows how to get me to understand the concept of child-like faith and trust. Since God knew all too well that I had no clue what that meant even as person in hot pursuit of God, I would have trouble doing so unconditionally. The good thing with God is that being willing to let God teach me was a great place to start. Still baffled at how badly damaged and very fragile trust is, God wants t make sure that I get it right especially when life’s frays frighten me.

Although I am well aware and maybe too aware, if there is such a state of being, of how God works with my ouches, I still dread ouchy moments or moments that appear to be too ouchy and that is primarily because my mind is always quick to contradict my heart; hoping to get a lead back in. I always want to convince myself that though matter what I will stay very strong from the outset when discomfort alerts me that God is unto something, yet sometimes I panic. Granted it is not as nerve wrecking as good old days of confusion of God’s love for me and who I really am- a child of God; still, I know that God is training me by restoring my faith to that of a child…open and receptive to God and say good bye to yo-yoing days of “God loves me... God loves me not!”

Because of this I am grateful for yesterday, cheerful about today and excited about an eternity of tomorrows, which eventually becomes cherished todays and grateful yesterdays!

To live the life that God designed me to fulfill in a fashion that enfolds God’s legacy of a life created in God’s image and likeness is choice worth making and for this I am grateful to be alive and like it or not, I have to unconditionally accept that God’s plan for my life is good: how, when, why, where and through whom God works to accomplish that is part of the big picture. I have to trust that God is very pleased with me and though matter how I feel or not able to fully understand nothing can snatch me from God or stop God from loving me unconditionally even when I do not know how to consistently do so myself.

One day God, I will have this let go, let God and faith in things unseen and senseless all shaken, filled to the brim and overflowing! I don't how long before I get there; I will get there somehow... by your grace!
